Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers present “Mondi Possibili”. On display are furniture and objects by Richard Artschwager, Benjamin Bergmann, Thomas Demand, Thea Djordjadze, Peter Fischli / David Weiss, Claus Föttinger, Stefan Kern, Frances Scholz, Andreas Schulze, Franz West, and Martin Wöhrl. “The works on display deal with the subject of furniture from a variety of angles: as citation, as homage, as adaptation, or as copy. Others are usable objects that hardly differ from their reference objects in the domain of design or furniture.” (PR Sprüth Magers). The exhibition is part of “Passagen”, the supporting programme of the International Furniture Fair in Cologne. Mondi Possibili (January 15 – March 17, 2007), Monika Sprüth Philomene Magers, Cologne.
